THE GOOD: This summer has been great for Grand Lake! Studies have been done on Lake Trout populations, a nutrient and particulate study has been completed. What now? I believe it will show the problem with changing the flow through Grand Lake and how devastating it will be for our area wildlife. THE BAD: Local organizations have reported there will be a stop pump period from now until September. For those who want to see a clear Grand Lake it is good, but for the fish and Shadow Mountain Lake, this is very bad news. No flows are turning some of the most lucrative fishing holes into slimy, mossy warm water stagnate puddles. My apologies to all of my fellow anglers...I'M TRYING! Spread the word, let these organization know this is not the best idea! We all just have to hope that the temps stay relatively low for the rest of the summer. I don't want to see another algae bloom! If it gets hot enough, that top layer of zoo plankton will suffer and with nothing to eat that algae.....well go ask the Three Lake Watershed, and Greater Grand Lake Shoreline Association what will happen!!!!!
